Everyone has their own opinion & their own vision of what they want in their car.
Other than the wing that most everyone hates, there are a lot of the same mods on other cars in this site.

I've only seen those headlights look good on one TA. It was black and that was the only reason it seemed to work.

I could live with everything short of the wing. I am iffy on the headlights. I think the front clip is http://www.trtturbo.com/FMICBODYKITS.html. There are plenty of stock-appearing T/A's running around NC, I would definately give this one a look. $10K is not a bad price.

The front bumper is a great alternative, especially for a turbo set up!
Far better than some of the ones that I have seen with a hole cut out for the intercooler, where the license plate used to be.

I agree. If I had a fmic, I'd have that front fascia.

But screened in. Looks so retarded just wide open like that, or at least have material back inside like the 421SD

And the spoiler on that site, looks OK but those side turned down winglets look silly.

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEHOW A RICER GOT A HOLD OF A F-BODY . I BET MORE PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO BUY IT IF THAT WING WAS OFF.
